If you love New Years Eve, then Las Vegas is the place to visit. The ideal party city would be a great place to ring in the New Year.
Throughout the year tourists flock to Las Vegas to see the many music shows, dance spectacles, and even circus shows performed on a nightly basis in the city that never sleeps. One might rent a room at a famous hotel like the Venetian or the Bellagio, then head out to see a headliner show featuring a top act like Cher or Bette Midler. They might take the kids to a Cirque Du Soleil performance, or leave the little ones at home and take in an adults only show, with males visiting the Pin-Ups Lounge at The Cannery and ladies seeing—and drooling over—Chippendales, Manpower Australia and LaBare shows.
With all of these exciting spectacles going on year-round in Las Vegas, just imagine what the city would have to offer on New Years Eve. It’s a fact that many of Vegas’ signature shows offer special programs for this lively holiday; in addition, celebrities not typically based in Vegas often fly in to host special shows. Last year, for example, Rihanna hosted NYE 2011 at the PURE Nightclub.
Also on New Years Eve, the Las Vegas Strip and surrounding areas are frequently illuminated by fireworks displays of every variety; and many hotels and restaurants in Vegas offer special deals for this holiday.
Regardless of the specific type of New Years Eve party a host plans in Las Vegas, he/she needs to include a sound selection of theme-related party supplies. These could include a banner that reads “Vegas Baby!” or “What Happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas,” a table covering that shows a map of prime Las Vegas attractions, and perhaps a colorful centerpiece that spells out the words “Happy New Year” in flowers or candies.
An amazing place to visit for New Years Eve is Las Vegas, Nevada; the ultimate party place.

* The celebration of the New Year is the oldest of all holidays.
* It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000 years ago.
* In the years around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first New Moon (actually the first visible crescent) after the Vernal Equinox (first day of spring).
* The Babylonian New Year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in comparison.
* Not all countries celebrate New Year at the same time, nor in the same way. This is because people in different parts of the world use different calendars.
* Long ago, people divided time into days, months, and years. Some calendars are based on the movement of the moon; others are based on the position of the sun.
* Generally New Years is celebrated December 31- January 1. People stay up all night December 31 to mark the passing of the year.
* There are elaborate New Years Eve parties with music and dancing. At the stroke of midnight, confetti is tossed in the air, firer crackers explode, and people make noise and then kiss the person next to them.
